“Migrant Mother” is one of a series of photo-graphs that Dorothea Lange made of Florence Owens Thompson and her children in Nipomo camp,California in 1936. Lange was finishing a month's trip photographing migrant agricultural workers around the state-
I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother,as if drawn by a magnet (磁铁).I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her. 37 I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age,that she was thirty-two. 38 She had just sold some parts from her car to buy food. There she sat with her children huddled (依偎) around her,and seemed to know that my pictures might help her,and so she helped me.
39 It made the government deliver food aid to the Nipomo camp,where several thousand people were hungry and living in terrible conditions. However,by that point Owens and her family had moved on.
Lange's photo became an image of the Great Depression(大萧条) ,but the migrant mother's identity remained a mystery to the public for many years because Lange hadn’t asked her name. 40Owens died at the age of 80 in 1983. In 19987a pnnt of the image,signed by Lange,sold for $244 500 at auction(拍卖) .
A. Not every picture tells the whole story.
B. The photo taken that day got a chance for him.
C. But I do remember she asked me no questions.
D. The image of Owens was soon published in newspapers.
E. In 1960,Lange gave the following account of the experience.
F. In the late 1970s,a reporter tracked down Owens at her California home.
G. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields.
话题:文学与艺术
本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了一张影响历史的照片《移民母亲》背后的故事。
36. E. 第二段的内容即E项中的the following account of the experience。
37. C. 上文中的 I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her 与 C 项丰的 But I do remember she asked me no questions之间是转折关系。
38. G. 由下一句 She had just sold some parts from her car to buy food 可知,此处应与 食物有关,正好与G项中的living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields相关。
39. D. 本空后面政府采取的措施与D项中的 was soon published in newspapers 有关,政府采取救助措施是照片登报的结果。
40. F. 由上文中的 the migrant mother's identity remained a mystery to the public 可知,移民母亲的身份一直都是一个迷,而F项中的a reporter tracked down Owens at her California home 正好说明移民母亲的身份是如何被知晓的。
